If more than one person owes performance in such a way that each is obliged to effect the entire performance, but the obligee is entitled to demand the performance only once (joint and several debtors), the obligee may at their discretion demand full or part performance from each of the obligors. Until the entire performance has been effected, all obligors remain obliged.
